36 years old. That was all the life Hayden Panettiere had.
News of her death shook Hollywood, but it was Kim Cattrall’s message that gave the pain a name.
“Rest in peace, sweet Hayden. You left too soon”, the actress wrote on Instagram, accompanying the text with a photo many had forgotten: the two of them together on the set of Ice Princess, the 2005 Disney film in which Cattrall played the demanding mother of Panettiere’s character.
Two decades after sharing the set as fictional mother and daughter, it was Cattrall who had to take on the real role of saying goodbye. A simple gesture, an image from the past, and a phrase that sums up what half of Hollywood thinks: she left too soon. 💔
